MID SURREY DEMENTIA CARE TRUST
We operate the Conservatory Club, attached to Fairfield Centre, Leatherhead, where we run a managed social club for up to 8 people with memory difficulties each day, between 10.00 - 3.00pm, Monday to Friday. While these people with memory difficulties are at the Club, their carers enjoy 5 hrs/day of free time
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity's finances and reserves have been 'considerably depleted' due to high staff costs, temporary cover, and recruitment fees. The trustees note that the daily fee increase to £35 is intended to cover higher running costs, but the charity remains vulnerable to risks including staff shortages, potential closure due to redevelopment, and trustee succession issues.
What the accounts disclose
“The increase in the daily fee should ensure that our higher running costs will be covered, providing always that Club membership remains at current levels or higher.”
